Climate group plans local meeting

CHILLICOTHE - Citizens’ Climate Lobby is conducting a meeting to launch a Chillicothe chapter of the organization.

Doug Bell, Ohio State Coordinator for Citizens’ Climate Lobby, will lead the workshop.

“Politicians do not create political will, they respond to it. If we want Congress to address climate change, then they have to hear from us. The workshop is designed to give citizens the tools they need to be effective advocates,” said Bell.

The workshop will be from 1 to 4 p.m. on March 18 at the Chillicothe-Ross Public Library’s main branch, 140 S. Paint St.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby describes itself as a non-partisan, grassroots advocacy organization with 383 chapters dedicated to generating the political will for effective national policies to address climate change.
